Food is always king.
 Until timing, digestion, volume, or convenience get in the way.

Powdered nutrition isn’t “better” than whole food, it’s simply a different tool.
 Whole foods bring a food matrix, fibre, and satiety. Powders remove that matrix on purpose to make nutrients faster and easier to absorb.

That’s why powders can outperform food:
 • Around training • When digestion is compromised • When calorie or protein targets are high • When convenience actually determines compliance

This isn’t an argument for replacing meals with shakes.
 It’s about using the right tool at the right time, and understanding why.

Use powders where they make sense.

Eat real food the rest of the time.

And if you want any help determining what that looks like for you, my DMs are always open.

Do you train hard enough?

Same place, same shirt, different man

It is amazing the change you can make in a relatively short amount of time.

Imagine the person you want to be.

What kind of physique do you have?

What is your energy like?

How are you showing up in life?

Before you can ever become that person, you have to start acting like them.

Ask yourself, would the person with the physique you want skip the gym? Probably not

Would the person with great consistent energy be going to bed in the early hours and sleeping in? Probably not

And this is exactly what has done.

These photos are roughly 9 months apart.

This transformation has gone way past just a physique transformation.

It has had a ripple effect into every part of his life.

He has shown up as that man, and in 9 months his life is completely different in all aspects.

And it has been an absolute privilege to play a small part in it.

The person you want to be, really isn’t that far away.

You just have to start acting like them now.

How Big is Your Bucket?

Your body doesn’t care where the stress comes from. Wether its work, training, lack of sleep, relationships, it all goes into the same bucket.

And when that bucket is overloaded, your ability to adapt takes the hit.

Every workout you complete sends your body a signal to adapt and get better.
 But if your nervous system is already drowning in noise, that signal gets lost.

And you don’t get the return you think you should be for the effort you’re putting in.

The good thing is that a lot of this can be managed via your lifestyle.

We fill and empty these buckets on a daily basis.

Add things into your adaptation bucket like walking in nature, breathing drills etc, and try to minimise anything going into your stress bucket that isn’t going to help you move forward.

Have the tough conversations that are weighing on you, don’t beat yourself up after every slip up.

There is an art and science to coaching, and knowing when to push someone, or ease back is apart of that art.

If you want someone to be in your corner to help fill or empty a bucket, drop me a DM.

Weekly Check-In No10

This weeks check-in is a quick physique update.

I have been slowly increasing the amount of food I have been eating week on week, which has been fuelling my sessions very well, while keeping body fat gain to minimum.

Overall strength is slowly increasing, however I need to spend more time on the parallettes, if I am ever going to complete this free standing handstand push up.

Jump training has also been progressing well, but I haven’t managed to film any videos as of late due to the amount of people in the gym at the moment.

So far this gaining phase has been a success.

If you have a goal and a plan to reach that goal, it makes showing up so much easier.

Is Your Pre-Workout Lying To You?

A pre-workout supplement is used to improve your performance.

Before consuming one, you should probably first figure out what are you trying to improve?

Is it:

- Max strength
- Strength endurance
- Power output
- Aerobic endurance

Once you have figured that out then you can start getting specific with ingredients.

However, most people firstly don’t know what they are trying to improve, and secondly most pre workouts are sold as a formulation that does everything.

But when you take a closer look, you will often find ingredients that are massively under-dosed, or have no benefit being in there whatsoever.

This isn’t a post to say that they are all completely useless, because they are not.

But this is a post, that hopefully makes you think about what ingredients you actually need for the improvements you are trying to make.

There are less and less credible sources of information on the internet, and everyone will be trying to get your attention and money.

So If you can, try and do some research yourself and don’t just trust whatever is put in front of you.

Or have someone you do trust help you out.

My DMs are always open.

Detoxification is real

Detoxification gets a bad wrap in general because of the detox teas and other nonsense products that get pushed all over social media.

However, when detoxification is done correctly it can make a world of difference to someone.

There are four stages of detoxification and certain nutrients can either inhibit or increase detoxification.

For example, you will often hear that turmeric has to be taken with black pepper because it increases absorption. This is not true, they will both be absorbed just fine.

However, turmeric is known to increase phase 3 detoxification, which essentially means how quickly something leaves a cell.

So if you want to utilise the anti-inflammatory effects of turmeric, you probably want it to hang around in the cell for a while.

Enter black pepper.

Black pepper is a phase 3 inhibitor, therefore they add black pepper to turmeric supplementation to keep it in the cell longer so that it becomes more bioavailable, and the body can actually use it.

Now there are 100s of similar reactions like this that happen, and if you don’t know what you’re doing, you can really fudge things up.

So before people try branding detox protocols as all BS, know that there are real scientific ways you can help someone detoxify if they need to.

Feel free to drop me a message if you want to know more.

It is a good job Diddy is locked up, otherwise he might start lurking around some of these online coaches photoshoots.

The Not-To-Do List

Performing to the highest level is about doing more and more.

It is about doing the things that actually matter really well, and removing everything else.

Most people don’t need another habit.

They just need fewer s**tty ones.

This is where the not-to-do list comes in:

- Scrolling before bed
- Drinking every weekend/week
- Slamming caffeine in the afternoon

You will most likely know the things you shouldn’t be doing that are holding you back.

So instead of looking for something to add.

How about removing some of the s**t first.

Weekly Check-In No9

Sometimes there isn’t much to say in a check-in and to be honest that can be a good thing.

You won’t need to make changes every week.

And if things are in a good place, then this is the time to stay the course and just keep moving forwards.

Results come from consistently showing up every week.
